[869] And what, bhikkhus, is the faculty of wisdom (paññindriya)? Here, bhikkhus, a noble disciple (ariyasāvaka) is wise; he is endowed with wisdom directed to arising and passing away, wisdom that is noble and penetrative, leading rightly to the complete destruction of suffering (dukkha). He understands as it really is (yathābhūta): 'This is suffering'; he understands as it really is: 'This is the origin of suffering'; he understands as it really is: 'This is the cessation of suffering'; he understands as it really is: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering.' This, bhikkhus, is called the faculty of wisdom. These, bhikkhus, are the five faculties (indriya). The Suddhika Chapter, the first. Its summary (uddāna): The simple version and the two on streams (stream-enterers), then two more on arahants; ascetics and brahmins, "to be seen," and two more on analysis. _________ The Mudutara Chapter, the second.
